Akris Fall 2011














Albert Kriemler (Designer)

If you are not familiar with Akris, chances are you are not part of the elite. A pair of slacks will run you about $900 and the jacket about $2000. It's for the wealthy and old money clientele. I love the minimalist designs and the luxurious fabrics. There is not any gimmicks nor the latest trends, it's strictly about beautiful classic pieces lasting forever... now that's being wealthy.

Since debuting on the runway last season, Jourdan Dunn , the British seventeen year old, has taken the fashion industry by storm. She was the first African-American to walk the Prada runway since Naomi Campbell in 1997 which is a damn shame in this day and age! Jourdan kind of put you in a mind of a young Tyra Banks. She is just white enough for the Caucasians but still real enough for us. We will see a great deal of her in the future.
